Innocence in Mississippi

Ongoing problems with wrongful convictions, incarceration; MDOC and CMCF, a joke? Steven Hayne, MD? Governor Barbour, is he accountable to the citizens of this State? If so, in what capacity?

You might ask me why I'm doing this?

Well, I can answer that in a very short sentence. Because it is the right thing to do. Wouldn't you want some help if you were in this situation? Wouldn't I? Of course we would! So, I'm doing it because it's the right thing!

Keep reading; follow along; give me your feedback, even if you don't agree; but take a stand! That's what's important here! Take a look at this article in Reason Magazine by Radley Balko; google this "doctor" and see what you find out!

    September 14: Christopher Tapp: Las Vegas, Nevada: From our 'Who could Imagine?" series, (Part 2): Reporter James Thompson rexplains in Hoodline how "Christopher Tapp's story serves as a sobering reminder of how justice delayed can become justice denied—and how even after surviving one of the worst failures of the justice system, tragedy can still strike when freedom is finally within reach."…"A former Republican congressional candidate will stand trial in June 2026 for the murder of Christopher Tapp, a man who spent two decades wrongfully imprisoned before meeting a violent end at a Las Vegas Strip hotel."…Perhaps most tragic was the timing of Tapp's death, which came just four years after gaining his freedom from one of Idaho's most notorious wrongful conviction cases. On June 13, 1996, 18-year-old Angie Dodge was raped and stabbed to death in her apartment in Idaho Falls, Idaho. After over 100 hours of intense police interrogation, Tapp confessed to the crime under heavy pressure, although no physical evidence tied him to the scene. The truth finally emerged through advances in DNA technology when investigators identified Brian Dripps, who had lived across the street from Dodge. East Idaho News reported that police arrested Dripps on May 15, 2019, and charged him with the rape and murder of Dodge. On July 17, 2019, Tapp's murder conviction was vacated. According to CBS News, Christopher Tapp and the city of Idaho Falls agreed to settle a lawsuit for $11.7 million. In 2021, Tapp received an additional $1.2 million from the state of Idaho — approximately $62,000 for each year he was behind bars."
